    Great and fast device, does what it should without problems. Buttons are handy for predefined scan settings, e.g. for storage on SMB share.

    I have grabbed the 'opened' model for 250.--. Absolute top price/performance ratio for a device of this class. I want to archive my paper filing. Using the software I have set up an OCR profile which I can call up with a button on the device. This way I get perfectly indexable PDFs. The software runs centrally on my server, so my wife can also archive her documents without my PC having to run. Scans are opened automatically, so I wrote a process monitor that kills the PDF viewer. Otherwise I would have dozens of windows open on the server. The only pity is that I can't define different OCR profiles on different buttons, but always have to change the same profile. E.g. double-sided or not, or everything in separate PDFs or not. Speaking of double-sided: this can be set very finely, which the scanner interprets as a blank page and thus ignores. So you put a whole stack of paper in the feeder, scan double-sided, but you don't get blank pages if there's a single-sided document among them.
    Of course it's a pity that the device can't do OCR natively but needs a software to do it. Saving directly to an SMB share at the push of a button is sexy, but it only works with normal PDFs. But that's complaining on a high level.
    To be honest, I can't think of anything else negative. I'm thrilled all around, compared to my previous scanning experiences in the 90s or 2000s.

    Professional turbo scanner without fiddly touch display for small teams

    Outstanding scanner for tough everyday office use. If you can do without the fiddly touch displays and prefer to just press a button, the ADS-3000N is the best choice. Paper jams virtually never occur, unless a Post-It note or a forgotten Bostich interrupts the scanning process in the right way.
